Annual rate of change CPI; since 1963

This table contains figures on the Netherlands’ consumer price index (CPI). The CPI measures changes in the prices of goods and services purchased by households in the Netherlands for their own consumption.

The table contains the annual rates of change of the CPI from the moment they were first published. The annual rate of change of the CPI is known as the inflation. It also shows the annual rate of change of the derived CPI. This is the CPI that excludes the effect of changes in the rates of product-related taxes (e.g., VAT or excise taxes). As such, the price index approximates what the price change would be if tax rates had remained the same.

CPI figures are published every month. After the end of each calendar year, annual figures are also released. The index figure for a given calendar year is calculated as the average of the indices for the twelve months in that year.

Data available from: January 1963
